Description
COL6A3 Antibody (PACO23316)
The COL6A3 Antibody (PAC023316) is a polyclonal antibody specifically designed for research involving COL6A3, a key component of type VI collagen that is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of tissues and organs. This antibody, generated in rabbits, exhibits high reactivity with human samples and has been validated for use in Western blot applications. By binding to the COL6A3 protein, this antibody allows for the detection and analysis of COL6A3 expression in various cell types, making it a valuable tool for studies in connective tissue disorders, fibrosis, and muscle biology research.
COL6A3 is known for its role in maintaining the structural stability of tissues such as skin, muscles, and blood vessels. Dysregulation of COL6A3 expression has been implicated in a variety of diseases, including muscular dystrophies, skin disorders, and cardiovascular conditions. Understanding the function and regulation of COL6A3 is critical for developing potential therapies targeting these diseases and advancing our knowledge of tissue development and repair processes.

| UniProt Protein Function: | COL6A3: Collagen VI acts as a cell-binding protein. Defects in COL6A3 are a cause of Bethlem myopathy (BM). BM is a rare autosomal dominant proximal myopathy characterized by early childhood onset (complete penetrance by the age of 5) and joint contractures most frequently affecting the elbows and ankles. Defects in COL6A3 are a cause of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD); also known as Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy. UCMD is an autosomal recessive congenital myopathy characterized by muscle weakness and multiple joint contractures, generally noted at birth or early infancy. The clinical course is more severe than in Bethlem myopathy. Belongs to the type VI collagen family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. |

| NCBI Summary: | This gene encodes the alpha-3 chain, one of the three alpha chains of type VI collagen, a beaded filament collagen found in most connective tissues. The alpha-3 chain of type VI collagen is much larger than the alpha-1 and -2 chains. This difference in size is largely due to an increase in the number of subdomains, similar to von Willebrand Factor type A domains, that are found in the amino terminal globular domain of all the alpha chains. These domains have been shown to bind extracellular matrix proteins, an interaction that explains the importance of this collagen in organizing matrix components. Mutations in the type VI collagen genes are associated with Bethlem myopathy, a rare autosomal dominant proximal myopathy with early childhood onset. Mutations in this gene are also a cause of Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy, also referred to as Ullrich scleroatonic muscular dystrophy, an autosomal recessive congenital myopathy that is more severe than Bethlem myopathy. Multiple transcript variants have been identified, but the full-length nature of only some of these variants has been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2009] |
